First, y’all think Chris is some actual player who plays with girls’ emotions and doesn’t know what consent is.

Then, y’all think Nick is a wannabe gay misogynistic Regina George.

Now, y’all think Matt is some cold, manipulative, sadistic guy who’s intentionally rude to his brothers for his own pleasure or for the cameras.

Do y’all actually like these boys??

Or do y’all only like the idea of the boys that you envision in your delusional imaginations, and because they’re not fulfilling your wildest parasocial fantasies, y’all start to create rumors of them being people worse than who they really are?

I definitely think it’s the latter.

what are your favourite catalan movies?

I'm going to be very mainstream here but I loved Casa en flames (A House On Fire) so much. I think it's the best movie I've seen this year 2024 (not best Catalan movie, I meant best movie of any nationality). Btw, this movie is now available on Netflix with English subtitles! It's a comedy-drama about a family that meets in their holiday home before selling it and all the problems and secrets are brought up, revealing the character's insecurities. It's very well written and shows again how Emma Vilarasau is such an amazing actress.

Another movie I absolutely adored was El mestre que va prometre el mar (The Teacher Who Promised the Sea). I doubted on including this one as Catalan movie or not because it's a Catalan production with a Catalan actor as main character representing a real Catalan man, but the movie is mostly in Spanish since most of the events take part in Spain and not in Catalonia, but I think it still counts. Either way, it's a beautiful movie and definitely my favourite movie of 2023. It's explained from the view of a woman who wants to find out what happened to her grandfather's family and ends up visiting a mass grave being dug up in central Spain (context note: the state of Spain is the 2nd country in the world —after Cambodia— with a highest number of disappeared people because of all the people in mass graves during the civil war and the early years of the dictatorship, thousands of families are still looking for their relatives). It leads her to uncover the real story of Antoni Benaiges, a teacher from Catalonia who was sent to teach in the landlocked Spanish countryside in the early 1930s (pre-Civil War). It's a very heartwarming antifascist story about what a teacher can be, about children's freedom, and a reminder of the importance of historical memory. I really recommend everyone to watch it. (The movie can be streamed in Movistar+ and rented in many other international platforms.)

Other Catalan movies that I liked a lot are La Vampira de Barcelona and Salvador.

La Vampira de Barcelona (The Barcelona Vampiress) (2020) is a thriller with drama and some horror based on the real story of a woman who lived in Raval (poor quarter in Barcelona) who was accused of being a serial killer kidnapping children to use their blood in the early 1900s. I really liked this movie because I think we've all heard the legend but here the filmmakers went for a more historically-accurate version of what happened and how she was used, with a strong social critique, so it was a very interesting take on the story. It talks about very heavy topics though including children kidnapped to be forced to prostitution. (It looks like in some countries it's on Prime Video but I don't know what subtitles or dubbing it has been.)

Salvador (2006) is a biopic showing the events that led the 25-year-old Catalan anarchist Salvador Puig Antich to be sentenced to death in 1974. It's been years since I watched it now, but I remember when I saw it as a teenager it impacted me greatly even though I already knew the story. (The whole movie is on YouTube but without English subtitles, for streaming platforms it's on Filmin but it looks like it doesn't have English subtitles either, but there are downloadable subtitles online.)

I beg you please make cg! Stone with little shadow I just think it's so cute

regressor movie shadow and cg agent stone outfit + a few hcs!

as I made this I came up with a few little hcs!! I’ve never really posted hcs before se we’ll see how this goes,,, and this is esp. for movie shadow since he’s a little different than mainline shadow <3

regressor shadow and cg stone headcannons below cut

(plot-based hcs) - shadow started slipping a few hours after he escaped from prison island. at that point he was alone and didn’t have anyone, so he just hid and waited it out. he didn’t know what was happening, all he knew was that he was very scared and felt very small, and generally it was very impure first experience with it. - after he meets with the professor, he immediately feels smaller, but not as much as he did before. mostly to when he was little and naive, to a time before the attack. he masked the majority of his regression around gerald, scared of making a bad impression and looking weak. - when robotnik and gerald reunite, shadow feels very much like the professor’s pushed him aside for some human he’s never even met. he was left alone with stone - initially, when shadow started regressing he didn’t even understand why he did it around agent stone. but after stone picked up on him acting very little and quiet, he decided to help him out and became his cg. (random hcs) - shadow is very clingy out of trauma, and needs to keep his cg in his sights or else he will spiral and cry. - stone knits/crochets and you cannot change my mind. he makes little things for shadow in his spare time. shadow has a little crochet doll of maria that stone made for him after a ptsd episode. it makes him feel better, and stone loves seeing the little hedgehog’s eye’s light up whenever he gets a gift (something that rarely ever happened to him in the past). - shadow is almost entirely nonverbal, especially the younger he goes. while shadow doesn’t have a pinpointed age for his regression, stone is able to tell roughly how little he feels based off how much noise the little guy emits. the more silent, the more babey. - stone lets shadow help with cooking. while shadow might take a little long to do things (it needs to be perfect) and is rather clumsy when regressed, stone doesn’t mind and is just happy someone can appreciate the effort and time it takes to make a good meal. - stone lets shadow wear some of his old clothes, even if his quills poke a few holes and he needs to put holes in the back of the shirts for his back spines. little shadow likes being covered up and cozy, as it makes him feel safe and hidden away. - in addition, stone builds him blanket forts when they get a chance. it always makes shadow feel safe and loved, reminding him of when he was with maria. they watch kids shows and movies, and usually stone can trust the hedgehog keep himself entertained as long as stone stays within 15 feet of the fort. - on days when stone doesn’t have the time or ability to make a fort, he just throws 5-7 blankets on top of shadow and the baby is happy (he likes the weight, it’s cozy and he feels like he’s burrowing). - in his normal headspace, shadow refuses to speak of his regression. not even the cia could get him to confess. he doesn’t even tell stone when he’s slipping, and usually suppresses it until stone figures out what’s wrong and coaxes him into regression for his own good.

pinterest just grabbed me by the damn throat—

There is a screenshot of the Sturniolos’ voting records being spread around and I just wanna add my two-cents because y’all are WEIRDOS.

While voting records are public records and anyone can look them up (in certain states), going that far in any circumstance is weird, especially since there’s information on those sites (addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc.) that can easily be leaked if you use a website that is not official. You are putting those people, and even yourself (since people can track your IP address and sell that info), at risk.

The person who screenshotted that information is a dumbass because “Party: Unenrolled” does NOT mean you didn’t vote, it just means that you’re not committed with that party (which is specific to Massachusetts). Here’s what I found on formal websites (specifically related to Massachusetts’ legal definition) that discusses “unenrolled status”.

I understand that you wanna call out the boys’ for their lack of acknowledgment on the election and on their political status, but please don’t put them and yourselves at risk, especially when you lack the knowledge of what certain terms mean 😭

Am I the only one who is a Virgin and is proud of it ? I don't feel weird and it's a flex for me . I'm 18 btw

I think even if I end up in a relationship I will make the man wait. I watched a drama and the guy asked when they could take their rlship further and the girl said that maybe in 5 years and the guy was shocked but he said that he would wait.

I also think hooking up culture is weird and energy exchange exists so 😭😭

So if a guy really loves you and values you he would wait and a rlship is more than physical it needs to be emotional and how much you enjoy time with eo. Sorry if I sound conservative

no ur so real for that, im turning 17 very soon and i still have my virginity. i think we should be picky about who we choose to share our bodies with because our bodies are a gift 💕✨ and we should be stingy and selective with it.

you mentioned that it was beaten into your grandparents' generation to not speak catalan, but to speak spanish. did people in catalonia often not speak spanish before franco? what was the political situation of the language like before?

also, do catalan people prefer when spanish is called castellano? i know in romance linguistics it's often called that because spain has other languages, but i think catalan people often don't consider themselves spanish if i've understood it correctly

Yes, many people did not speak Spanish before Franco. For example, my grandma was born and raised in Barcelona right before the war (she was born in 1932) and she did not know any Spanish when she was a kid. She told me that one of the things she remembers the most of her childhood is how terrified she was that someone would find that out. She used to go with other kids of the street to sew with a elderly woman while their parents were at work (babysitting in working class neighbourhoods basically) and after Franco won the war this woman (who didn't speak Spanish either) told them in a made-up Spanish (adding an -o at the end of Catalan words and making them "sound Spanish" mixed with the very little Spanish she knew) that now it was very important that they all spoke Spanish when someone could hear because otherwise they could go to jail. So my grandma spent about a year when she did not say a single word on the street or outside of her family and close family friends. When she went to the market, she only pointed at things and nodded yes or no with her head or said the numbers by raising her fingers. She was very scared that she would be jailed with murderers and rapists. Even though I don't think children would be jailed for this (but it's not strange she believed it, because she had relatives who were in jail and were tortured, and the first years of dictatorship there was so much torture, executions and depravity that you ended up believing anything could happen), even if children wouldn't be jailed, they could still have gotten punished. She was still a kid, so at that age you learn quickly, so she could learn Spanish soon enough (or at least enough Spanish to pass well, because to be fair I've heard her speak Spanish now and every so often she still makes noticeable mistakes, even after decades of being married to my grandpa who is Spanish and speaking Spanish at home).

My parents (born in the 1960s), too, have told me that some of their classmates made mistakes and used Catalan words instead of the correct Spanish sentence. At that point, pretty much everyone in urban areas like ours already spoke Spanish well enough, but most people didn't use it often outside of school (unless they were Spanish immigrants or their children), so they made mistakes. And then the teacher beat them. It was the law that the punishment for speaking Catalan (and for many other things) in schools was corporal punishment. My mum was never beaten and was always at the top of the class and well-behaved, but even to this day she is still quite traumatized for what she saw. The only time I have seen her cry very desperately almost like an anxiety attack was when my grandma was talking about their teacher, because she remembers how he used to throw disobeying children to the floor and kick them, even when the kids were crying he'd still continue kicking them.

My parents have still met quite a few elderly people who didn't speak Spanish, only Catalan or Aranese (there was an Aranese man who used to come to my town for commerce, but it's no problem because Aranese and Catalan are mutually understandable, so they could have conversations where he spoke Aranese and the others spoke Catalan and it was fine, they just thought it was kind of funny). But I (and I dare to say almost everyone from my generation, except people who know someone with a strong mental disability and maybe some people from very rural areas) have not met anyone who speaks only Catalan and doesn't speak Spanish (excluding people from the Catalan-speaking areas that aren't under Spanish control, of course; because I have some friends from Northern Catalonia and there the bilingualism is Catalan+French, or even only French at this point for many young people).

You asked what the political situation of the Catalan language was before the fascists' victory in the Civil War. The situation was of course much better than during Francoism, for example we had the right to use Catalan in public, in schools (public schools taught in Catalan and even taught how to write Catalan), there were films dubbed to Catalan, Catalan radio, Catalan books, etc. and the huge amount of people in Catalonia spoke only Catalan in their everyday lives. However, there was still a strong political and social discrimination according to which Catalan was associated with the working classes and Spanish was seen as more classy (this was the case since the 1600s and intensified much more after 1714), but thanks to the Renaixença movement* Catalan had regained prestige to be used in literature and formal settings, even of the upper class, though conservative upper class (specially monarchists and fascists) still preferred Spanish. But we had done a lot of great steps in the right direction, and things were going very well. Better than ever before since Spain's invasion in 1714.

*the Renaixença was an artistic —and most important literary— movement of the 1800s that's basically our version of Romanticism but with a strong component of political and social fight for the rights of Catalan language and people.

I do not have any preference on whether Spanish should be called Spanish (español) or Castillian (castellano). In Spain, it's almost always called Castillian, so when I speak in Spanish I say castellano just because that's what I'm used to. But it's the same. It feels more correct to say Castillian because it's the language of Castilla, like you say "English" because it's the language of England (instead of saying "British"). But Spain is just Castilla and the lands it invaded, so when anyone says Spanish (language, culture, government, whatever) it means the Castillian one, and Spain has worked hard to make it clear that it does not include any of the occupied nations in its concept of country. So I always understand Spanish as referring exclusively to Castillian things (understanding Castilla to include all the Kingdom of Castilla, not only the modern-day administrative regions of Castilla. So, for example, including Andalucía and Extremadura).

I do not consider myself Spanish and I find it offensive when people try to say "Catalan is also Spanish because it's a language from Spain", it feels like saying that Catalan is nothing of itself, only belonging to Spain. It's forgetting that part of Catalonia has never been Spain (Northern Catalonia) and that Catalan is also the language of Andorra (an independent nation) and l'Alguer (a city in Sardinia inhabited by the descendants of Medieval Catalan settlers who moved there centuries before Catalonia was occupied by Spain). Their language is not "a Spanish language" and never has been, and either way I refuse to be reduced to that. Our language goes back centuries (with changes over time, of course, but it hasn't changed as much as English, we can read Late Medieval Catalan just fine), it has developed as independently as any other Romance language, with its own traditions and literature (the 1st vernacular literature in Romance languages btw!), so we are of ourselves, not "of Spain". I don't want our existence to be reduced to a possession of Spain. We should be described in our own terms.

So yeah, in Spanish saying both castellano and español are fine (some Spanish-speaking countries use one more or the other more), and in English I think it's better to just say Spanish, because that's the word that's used in English. But I don't really mind tbh.

I hope that answers your questions :)

i just imagined reader being an mc on mubank or inkigayo or smth, while the mcs are interviewing enha, reader actually has a remote control vibrator in and hoon has gradually been increasing the speed and intensity while she was interviewing them

(maybe they fuck after enha's perf cause he feels bad)

anon. i love you for this omg. first of all that’s so sunghoon coded??? like i bet you he would love seeing you squirm and holding back your whimpers while you clamp your legs together🥺 this is honestly too good to not make a drabble so here you go <3

(drabble under cut!)

pairing: idol!sunghoon x idol!mc!fem!reader

warnings: vibrator (obv), pet names (princess, baby), sunghoon being a cheeky bastard, orgasm denial, pulling out method (please wear protection😭), hair pulling, mirror sex..?, pwp???

and now, the “future of kpop.. enhypen!” you cheered as enhypen walked into the room bowing. as soon as they get in their positions, sunghoon mischievously put his hand in his pocket and switched on the remote. your body jerks as you bite your lip to seal your moans.

“so sunghoon, would you say this comeback has been a hit?” the other mc asks him.

“of course! our fans and other idols including y/n here seem to love it!” he grinned, increasing the intensity of the vibrator causing you to bow your head down not wanting anyone to see your fucked out expression.

“y/n are you alright?” one of the members asks to which you shoot your head up and nod, “yes i’m alright thank you, its probably because of the heat of this fire comeback!” you exclaim at the camera, looking back at sunghoon giving him a glare.

a quick intermission comes on giving sunghoon a chance to whisper into your ear.

“you’re doing so good princess.. you close?” he smirks against your ear, nipping at your earlobe.

“i’m so close hoon, please.” you beg, whimpering in his ear making his eyes darken with lust.

“as much as i love you baby, you can only cum if it’s around my cock. feel it baby, it’s so fucking hard for you.” he playfully moaned in your ear, guiding your hand down his body. your hand grazing over his hot and heavy boner.

“meet me in the changing rooms after our performance hm?” he grinned at you before the crew announced that you were now broadcasting again.

waiting for the performance to finish was tedious. watching him dance and sing with his charisma practically dripping off of him. even watching him from afar had you soaking your panties.

once the performance was finished, you waited for what seemed like decades, watching the other staff and members leave the room. after watching the last staff leave, you knock on the door.

“get in here.” he growls, pulling you in immediately smashing his lips onto yours, kissing you so hard and needy. “fuck i need you so bad right now. turn around.” his hand landing on your plump ass, earning a red mark.

you bend over the make up table, your soaked panties on full display for him. he licked his lips hungrily lifting up your skirt before he tore them off. “oh shit. do you see how fucking wet you are right now?” he teased, yanking the vibrator out of you replacing it with his slender fingers.

“ahh~ sunghoon!” you moan out only to be hushed by him. “be quiet. do you want everyone to know how well i’m gonna fuck you?” he cocked an eyebrow looking at you through the mirror. “no..” you answer, biting your lip almost to the point you can taste blood.

“exactly.” he tutted, unbuckling his belt and unzipping his pants before taking them off along with his boxers in a swift move. his raging, leaking tip hitting off his lower abdomen then standing proud.

“you don’t know how long i’ve been waiting to pound this little pussy.” he groans, pumping his length before lining it up with your entrance. “hoon please put it in..!” you begged, your hole clenching around nothingness.

“you best bet i fucking will.” he smirked, pushing himself into you, making sure you feel every inch of his throbbing cock. a loud moan escapes you, sunghoon hushing you by covering your mouth with his large hand.

“so you really do want people to hear us don’t you princess? such a dirty girl~” he cooed as he began to slowly thrust in and out of you. “don’t you dare make a sound.” he whispered into your ear seductively, removing his hand from your mouth only to pull your hair back as he pounded into you from behind.

“look at you, being fucked dumb by me. fuck! your pussy is so tight!” he grunted, pulling you hair harder.

“hoon.. i’m close!” you quietly moan, your walls clenching uncontrollably on his length.

“cum for me then princess. milk my cock for all you’re worth.” he let go of your hair, taking both your arms and pinning them behind your back.

“shit i’m cumming hoon!” you shut your eyes, feeling yourself let go all over his cock. your warm juices coating his girthy memeber deliciously.

“so.. fucking… good!” he grunted as he begins to approach his high, slamming into you like a wild beast. “ah shit!” he growls, pulling out of your cunt quickly. he pumped his wet dick, his load spurting all over your ass.

a/n: i literally finished this “drabble” within 2 hours which is insane because it’s not that far off with words as “Like what you see?” has 😭😭 maybe because i was busy…? idk but i hope u enjoyed this

[bisexualfagdyke]

why do u say dyke as a bi person, weirdo lol

You're clearly not asking in good faith, so I doubt you actually care, but I'm gonna answer & link some resources anyway. You are uneducated on queer history!!

Bisexuals, particularly bi women, have identified as dykes for years. In the past the lesbian and bisexual community didn't have a huge clean cut line. Bi dykes have been a thing forever, always have been, and always will. In real life dyke spaces, they don't care if dykes are bisexual or exclusively attracted to women. Bigots who hurl the slur at people do not care if you're bisexual or exclusively attracted to women. Here's an article on bisexual dykehood by Kravitz Marshall.

carrds with many resources and explanations (don't "but carrds aren't reliable" me until you've actually read through them and the sources they have): one + two + three

The artist Leanne Franson has a comic series called Liliane, Bi-Dyke along with other works that discuss being a bi dyke, which I recommend. link + link + link

You can look through the #bi history, #queer history, or #⚢ tags on my account to find posts I have reblogged about this. Here's a good one.

I identify as a dyke because it is a word that I connect with, and it accurately describes my queer attraction to women in a way other words don't. It has been used against me in the past. I do not use it as a slur, I never have & never will, it's a queer identity that I identify with bcuz it includes me and I connect with it.

Finally, here's a bunch of images (I don't have the sources + dates for them all rn, but if you ask me I will find them for you):

gi-hun x in-ho

squid game s2

Ginho/457 Ship Opinion Bingos!

Elaboration:

I have not seen Squid Game but I definitely know a lot more about it than I do, say, Alice in Borderland. And lemme tell ya. When I looked at the tag to research and saw someone use the quote "There is no greater love than the love the wolf feels for the lamb it doesn't eat" in the context of them, and then went on the shipping wiki and saw someone call them korean hannigram, I freaking blacked out. First off, I freaking love the predator/prey type dynamic we've got going on here--In-ho being the front man, watching his progress on screens in comfort, while Gi-hun is just a player. Gi-hun goes from being hopeful in the face of the games, to desperately trying to survive the games, all the way to discarding comfort and safety to stop the games once and for all. In-ho masquerades as a player to get in close and stop his rebellion, but IMAGINE the potential that has. This was all just a matter of business underneath a fake identity so these deadly games can keep going as usual, but what if something more starts to develop by accident? It's tragic identity matters like that that always hit the spot for me. I like it a lot. The back and forth gives me goosebumps and honestly it's convincing me to finally sit down and watch the series for real. I'd ship it.

[billowingangel]

btw I was looking at your old pinned and what's the Fake Hetalia Wiki :0 ? The link you put next to it doesn't go to it ):

Ok so the brilliant @forsoobado137 came up with this au/headcanon idea which you can see here. I'm also including a screenshot because this headcanon really tickles my brain.

And since that really tickled my brain I immediately decided to try and make one. It was harder then I thought and so I kinda rushed it (and with family & the holiday). Here is my rushed and basic America wikipedia I made in 2 days using Norton.

Here was @forsoobado137 's first hetalia wikipedia draft that she posted.

Then she made a fun fake social media screenshot of Twitter in the hetalia universe and someone referencing the wikipedia.

And then here are her other posts about that headcannon - the full wiki heres the template she used and the fun "potential middle names"

Anyway that's the full explanation for the fake wiki I had failed to link.
